Now I would say the M3 totally humiliated the RS4 and plz also rmb that was when both are standard. The M3 will be even faster if it is an DCT.

Four wheel drive combined with the extra weight sucks a lot of top end from the car.
That's a great video because it also show both cars accelerating from a stand still. Listen to the gear changes on the M3 and you will see that it took somewhere between 135~140mph before the M3 pulled level with the RS4. That result all but matches what I witnessed, there isn't a dramatic improvement in acceleration from the M3 over the RS4, it's just that in this dicsipline the RS4 as with any awd is dead simple to launch correctly every time.
